As the Reels Turn #1

As the Reels Turn belongs to the category of video slots called  i-slots, which is a shortcut for interactive active slots. When you load this game, you are greeted with the introduction:"Join us now as we begin our journey through the tangled web of the lives of the lovers and losers, the heros and the villians, and the players and the pawns at the El Pardiso Casino in the continuing saga of As the Reels Turn." In the first of the three As the Reels Turn, the saga consists of seven different Cut-Scenes with several bonus rounds. There is a game map showing the different scenes which you can access by clicking 'Game Map' in the upper-right corner of the screen.

The first scene is automatically there when the introduction is over or when you have skipped it. Then you start playing your slot game. You will find there 5 reels, 15 pay-lines and 5 coins per line with values: 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25 and 0.50. So the maximum bet per spin is $37.50.

One of the charms of this game is that it has 4 different scatter icons:

Tommy Wong Icon, Ivan the Fish Icon, Bonus Icon and Advance to Next Scene Icon.

In each case, three icons must appear anywhere on the 5 reels to activate a bonus round. The scatter icons need not appear on any single payline, active or not.

Scatter wins are calculated by the Scatter symbols combination payout by the total amount wagered. When you have a Scatter win as well as a regular win, you get paid for both.

Tommy Wong Bonus Round

You enter the Tommy Wong Bonus Round when three Tommy Wong icons appear anywhere on the 5 reels, irrespective of whether the payline is active or not. In the bonus round, you choose a Tomy Wong character which you think the audience will like the most. Each character has a different prize value.

Ivan the Fish Bonus Round

10 Free Spin at 3 times Multiplier is the prize when at least 3 Ivan the Fish icons appear anywhere on the 5 reels, irrespective of whether the payline is active or not. The value of a Free Spin is the same as that of the spin that activated the Free Spins.

Counterfeit Chips Bonus Round

This bonus round is triggered by 3 or more Bonus icons appearing anywhere on the 5 reels, irrespective of whether the payline is active or not. In this bonus round you will have to click on various Casino Chips until you come across a Counterfeit Chip which is the Stop Chip. Each genuine chip you identified has a certain prize value which are accumulated for the payout at the end of the bonus round.

Advance to Next Scene Bonus Round

Three or more of Advance to Next Scene icons will show the next Cut-Scene and prompt you to take some decisions. Behind some of the Cut-Scenes there may be one of the following bonus rounds. At the end of a Cut-Scene you are brought back to the game.

Terry's Car Bonus Round

This bonus round is activated after the second Cut-Scene has been displayed as shown in the Game Map. Now you will have to choose a car which you think Terry will like the most.

Slot Machine Bonus Round

This bonus round is activated after the fourth Cut-Scene has been displayed as shown in the Game Map. In this bonus round you will continue clicking on different slot machines until you reach one which is out of money. The values of the winning slot machines will be accumulated for the payout at the end of the bonus round.

The expected payback for this game is around 96%.
